Good day

On the 20th of March I won a coffee maker with a free bid. It cost R 16 something / R 17. After I agreed I was billed a very nice R 117 (rands - South African currency). Immediately after that I sa another amount go off my credit card, after which I wrote them the following mail:

Good day

Please see my complaint below:

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Robert'
Robert: Welcome to Ziinga Live Chat Service! For me to better assist you, may I have your email address registered with Ziinga?
Jeanine: Hi Robert
Robert: Hello.
Jeanine: (Personal Information Removed)
Jeanine: I saw an additional amount went off on my credit card:
Jeanine: R769-00
Jeanine: I never agreed to this amount
Robert: Let me check that for you. Please hold.
Robert: The charge is for the purchase made for the 250 Bid Package
Jeanine: I never picked it
Jeanine: that is what I do not understand?
Robert: I'm sorry but our system will only process it if all of the payment details are entered and the 3d secure code is entered as well
Jeanine: what do you mean?
Jeanine: I am trying to explain that I never bid on it or agreed to it
Robert: You did not bid on it.
Robert: You bought is for R769.99
Jeanine: how did it then end up in my account and how did I pay for it, if it was not agreed to?
Robert: and you have used 21 bids out of the 250.
Jeanine: where did I agree to the purchase?
Robert: Please hold as I check your account.
Robert: When you made the payment for the Senseo Coffee Maker, you got a pop up about the 250 bid package correct?
Robert: You click on the accept offer that is why it is charged to your account
Robert: and looking at the account, you have used 21 bids out of the 250.
Jeanine: it does not matter even f I use all of it, nowhere did I agree to this amount, do you realize that?
Jeanine: and nowhere did I agree to this product
Robert: I'm sorry but the only way that this will be charged is by clicking on the accept offer button
Jeanine: well, then go and review that button - it does not show this product or price - please log a complaint and send me an incident or reference no

Kind Regards

Here is the rest:

Guess what - after this I did not go onto ziinga, but all of a sudden this morning 28/03 I get charged another R 658-00. For what? I thought you had to agree? And enter the code?

Here is my mail:

I hereby also request with immediate effect that all payments from my card/payments made/monies requested with my credit card be cancelled immediately with immediate effect.
